Production Details Wine partly composed of 2 young estate plots, including one on the Schoenenbourg planted with Muscat d'Alsace. Harvested exclusively by hand from very beginning of harvest to ensure sound grapes and good natural acidity levels. Grapes destemmed into presses and left to macerate until next morning. After pressing, must decanted for few hours, then fermented in temperature-controlled barrels or vats at 18-24°C. Wine racked once before natural clarification during winter. Following spring, lightly filtered before bottling, then aged in cellars before release. Skin contact applied in 2010.
Tartaric Acid 5.98 g/L
Tasting Notes Brilliant pale green; lively and youthful; subtle, floral and fruit-driven Muscat bouquet; dry, clean and refreshing, with fresh-grape flavors and an aromatic finish.
Food Pairing Aperitif; goat's- or ewe's-milk cheeses; asparagus; marinated herring or mackerel; smoked fish; shellfish; flavorful or spicy dishes.
